 For Girth don't choke it but have no gaps either. Light pressure.

For length measure with a ruler standing up with legs and back straight. Then measure along the top when fully Erect. Be surprised at how much longer you will be if measuring sitting down with the ruler at the side but this is not the medical way of doing it. Think why self reports all ways come out longer than medical reports.

 i dont think you are going to add an Inch with BP... More like .5" unless you are chunky. I use BP just because its consistent.

for me i'm 7.5"BPEL right now... and i'm around just 7"nbpel

 You should always measure bone pressed I think. Reason for doing this scientifically is that its more reliable way of measuring. Less room for errors. Secondly, if you measure NPBL, and you are 6 inches, and then you gain 10 pounds in weight, and become 5.9 NPBL, you havent really gotten a smaller penis.

 being low body fat helps then right ? I'm assuming being around 10% would bring out about .5 which was previously covered by the fat pad ?

p.s. I'm not fat

Before joining here i never knew what bpl was. Thats how i always measured to give myself bigger length. If what your saying is true then thats means the more you gain weight the less length you have. I never lost any length I've always been this size whether i gained weight or not.
